Hello,

Many thanks again for your nice comments.

I finally decided not to use the wheel nuts from the MP4/5b, I did mine with the shape used by Ligier in 1989.

Image

I notice that the blue under the LOTO logo for the rear wing was missing, not a big deal, I found something in my magic surplus box.

Image

Image


I added the 2 small brackets to each side of the rear wing supports.

Image

I did the mirror with and old stuff from Virages, that I always like the result.

Image

then 2 more details

Image


and after more than 5 years it is finished.

Image

Image

I'll try to put some pictures soon. Many thnks for watching this long long long WIP.

Cheers

Franck

Congratulations for a wonderful result! The wait was definitely worth it! And to follow up on your first post in this thread all those years ago, I'd like to ask if your plan to make this project a transkit for sale is still on? Looking at the result, I suppose that your target must have definitely been met :D
